Abstract: We have studied the behavior of the Gaussian wave packet in the 2-D square billiard using Bohmian quantum mechanics. We found non-chaotic ballistic trajectories for particles with high energies. The most important aspect of these trajectories is that upon collision they obey the laws of reflection in spite of curved paths near the walls.
